Asking Claude What It's Least Confident About Catches More Bugs Than Tests
Mammoth_Corner1802 · reddit · 2026-08-10
A developer shared a highly effective AI coding workflow habit: ending each session by explicitly asking Claude to identify the parts of the generated code it is least confident about.
The author noticed that the model rarely volunteers these vulnerabilities mid-flow. However, when prompted, it accurately points out potential issues like race conditions, unverified input format assumptions, and skipped edge cases. Roughly one in three sessions reveals a bug severe enough to have caused production incidents, effectively acting as an AI-driven code retrospective.
